Simply Spring

I created this simple card with a gorgeous Altenew stamp called Simply Spring. I coloured the image with my Copics and did the background using a stencil from the Penny Black stencil set Background Basics. I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks in Saltwater Taffy and Brushed Corduroy through the stencil before stamping my sentiment on the panel (the sentiment says 'Heartfelt congratulations' in Finnish). Lastly, I embellished the card with some gems.

PBSC - February

It's February and a new challenge has begun at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme for February being Wings.

I chose the optional theme and used this sweet lil' hedgie flying his plane. The stamp is from the Penny Black stamp set Love Everywhere. I coloured the image with my Copics adding some accents with a white gel pen before die cutting the image with the matching die, Love Everywhere Cut Out. For the background, I used a circle stencil from the stencil set Background Basics and did some ink blending with Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet. The sentiment comes from the stamp set In the Air and the little hearts are die cut with Hearts Galore die. I matted my panel onto some pink cardstock before I attached everything in their places.

Hope you can join us at PBSC this month!
